Angelus Brand Acrylic Leather Paint - White - 1oz

Product Information

To paint sneakers, the first step is taking off the laces and cleaning your shoes with dish soap and a toothbrush. Our Leather Paint is an adaption of the products we use to do this which have been tried, tested and, more importantly, used for many years without failure. This brand represents over a hundred years of knowledge about leather paint and its accompanying additives and accessories.

Using too much finish can change the colour of your paints – making them slightly darker or lighter than you intended – so be cautious. How long you wait will depend on the type of paint you used, but waiting at least an hour is a good rule of thumb. Using your craft knife, remove the excess tape by cutting around the outline of the shape, applying a light but firm pressure. Waiting an hour is usually a good place to start, but if you're unsure if the primer is dry or not, lightly touch it with your finger. The colours range from Standard Colours such as blue, green and yellow to shiny metallic and even neon.As far as I can remember, the first public airing of the new colours was on a Jet Provost at the Royal Review, on the RAF's 50th Birthday at Abingdon in 1968. Is there an RAF aircraft painting specification publicly available similar to the USN MIL-STD-2161A or US Army TB 746? Cut the painter’s tape into shorter or thinner strips to make applying the tape easier, if necessary. Wait for the rubbing alcohol to dry once the shoe has been cleaned — this should only take a few minutes. A. If you are looking to get creative and paint leather shoes, then yes, it is a great leather paint for shoes.

Leave your shoes to dry overnight, then apply a coat of sealant, like Mod Podge, which will help protect the paint from chipping. Shoe Care Specialist Rio Jongsae Kim explains, "after [your soles] dry, you have to apply finisher/sealant to protect [the] paint from peeling off. I sometimes put reinforced plastic into the toebox so they keep their shape, but I can’t lie, it’s not very comfortable. Polyurethane paints are the most flexible type of leather paint available so it doesn't matter if you're painting a shoe, trainer, jacket or even a leather sofa, you can be sure to know that our Leather Paint will bend and flex with every crease and fold in the leather.

Don’t press too hard – just enough to cut the tape – otherwise you risk scratching the material of the uppers. As an added precaution, you can allow the sealant to dry overnight to ensure the soles are completely dry. However, you may wish to apply either Leather Finish or our Natural Leather Finish if you want to alter the shine or feel.
